Once Upon A TimeDaddy was a family man and the only way he knewTo entertain the children when Ole Man Winter blew Was to sit them down and gather them around that great big fireplace And say these words as he watched the firelight flicker on each face Once upon a time in a land far away In the days of old there were knights so bold And heroes saved the day Once upon a time there were kingdoms on the hill There were dungeons deep in the castle keep And soldiers of iron will He'd make us see it all in every line And he'd take us back to once upon a time So turn the TV off, put the video games away Come sit down beside me, tell me what you did today And I'll sit you down and I'll take you around to a world of fantasy Where anything you dream tonight waits there for you and me Once upon a time in a land far away There were days of old and knights so bold And heroes saved the day Once upon a time way up around the bend There were days of glory and every story had a happy end And the ballads of the old-time minstrel's rhyme Way on back in once upon a time Seems like we don't spend enough time together anymore It's throw on your clothes and fix your lunch, slam that kitchen door Then we all come home at night and sit around and stare At that big ole box full of nothing over in the corner there But once upon a time, oh things were different then There were dungeons, dragons and gypsy wagons and the days of way-back-when Once upon a time there was still a wrong and right Before we got the power to blow it all into the night Tell me now wouldn't it be fine If this could still be once upon a time Children, it could still be fine Tonight could still be once upon a time |
